Facing conflicts out in open, together as a community
I haven’t seen this post until now. From my side I would just like to +1 facing conflict situations out in open, inviting the whole community to help resolve them and documenting our experience for everyone to possibly learn from.
I remember from my stay in Matera hearing, IMO very unfortunate, comments like:
“@ArthurD sends @david.bovill home”
I do NOT remember seeing out in open (at that time I followed posts on this platform more closely), clear communication about challenges occurring in relation between Edgeryders and Viral Academy. Even that just little earlier Alberto proposed integrating VA and unMonastery closer together. Instead just some gossiping at random about VA, grant from Nominet and struggles with ER 
I must admit also feeling quite disappointed hearing from @Vahagn (who I suggested to @Nadia to contact about Future Spotters in region where he lives), that he and @ArthurD ended up sending to each other angry emails. And I don’t even want to try getting into stuff like ‘righteous/wrongful side’ of a conflict, just recognize it as failure for which everyone involved simply shares part of responsibility.
I understand that board of Edgeryders LBG finds it important for the whole community to present positive image. At the same time I trust in wisdom community as broader collective and that we can shine with our natural beauty, sometimes having our lows and highs, and we don’t need to cover it up with any makeup when we drive ourselves into challenging situations.
Let’s all keep in mind possibly the main guideline in hacker community
